c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is
being cut off against the rotating saw blade.
Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the
saw blade will create a binding condition and
kickback.
d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw
blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece
against the saw blade and create kickback.
e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece
against the table and fence when making non-
through cuts such as rabbeting.
A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in
the event of a kickback.
f) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind
areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding
saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s)
must be placed under all portions of the panel
overhanging the table top.
h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece
that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre
gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted,
or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes
misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade,
binding and kickback.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked
vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could
pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in
the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf
so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the
material. If the saw blade gets stuck, then it can
lift the workpiece and cause a rebound when the
saw is re-started.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with
sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or
saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp
and properly set saw blades minimise binding,
stalling and kickback.
4) Table saw operating procedure warnings
a) Switch off the table saw and disconnect it from
the power supply before removing the table
insert, changing the saw blade, carrying out
the settings on the splitting wedge or the saw
blade protective cover, or if the machine is to be
left unsupervised. Precautionary measures will
avoid accidents.
b) Never leave the table saw running unattended.
Turn it off and don't leave the tool until it comes
to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is
an uncontrolled hazard.
c) Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area
where you can maintain good footing and
balance. It should be installed in an area that
provides enough room to easily handle the
size of your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and
uneven slippery floors invite accidents.
d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from
under the saw table and/or the dust collection
device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and
may self-ignite.
e) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that
is not properly secured may move or tip over.
f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table
before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or
a potential jam can be dangerous.
g) Always use saw blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Saw blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing
loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
mounting means such as flanges, saw blade
washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means
were specially designed for your saw, for safe
operation and optimum performance.
i) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a
stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.
j) Make sure that the saw blade is installed
to rotate in the proper direction. Do not
use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or
abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper
saw blade installation or use of accessories not
recommended may cause serious injury.
Use the correct saw blade for the material that is to
be processed.
Only use a saw blade with a diameter that
corresponds to the information given on the saw.
Only use saw blades that are labelled with a rotational
speed equally high as or higher than what is labelled
on the electrical tool.
Only use saw blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer and that comply with EN 847-1 if they
are intended to cut wood or other similar materials.
Carry out longitudinal cuts with an incline not on the
side towards which the incline occurs.
Wear suitable personal protection equipment, such
as:
• Hearing protection
• safety gloves when handling saw blades
